As I've said before, installing RAM in the MacBook takes a ridiculous amount of force (at least, mine did). I had to press until I thought it was going to break, and then press som…

Wow...do I feel lucky. I just wrote in anotherpost that my Mushkin RAM slipped right in. Quite easy in fact. My wife put in the last screw on the L bar....that was the only wrinkle…

Well...mebbe most people who replaced their RAM had no issues...The only time I got in trouble was trying to replace the Hard Drive on my Pismo. I fried the CPU. Cost me $400 to fi…

I wouldn't be on there being no changes between now and August. Apple has already speedbumped the MacBook Pro several times since it was announced in January. If you can hold out, …

I expect we'll see one price drop or speed bump in the next couple months, howver it will probably be small and may not come until September.

Just because the new core duo 2 chips will be out by then is not a 100% guarentee that the new Macbooks get released right away. Realistically it could easily be October or Novembe…

well intel said july for new cpus and out on the market there for apple must have something up there sleeves. If you and me know about the new intel chips I am sure apple new about…

I would get it now... I guess we won't see any change on the MacBook before October at best...

Never purchase the first iteration of a redesigned Apple product. Apple uses it's first adopter customers as beta-testers.

Even if Apple were to go upgrade crazy, the most that would happen to the MacBook would probably be a Core 2 Duo processor (64-bit instead of 32-bit), probably 2GHz on the low end,…

I don't see the MacBooks being upgraded as often as their Pro ancestors. Simply because the Pro's have a socketed motherboard makes it easy for Apple to change things as often as …

I just bought my BlacBook last week. I wanted to wait...but got too impatient. I think I will hold on to this Book - unless they somehow inro a MacBook Pro in Black - at 13". I so …
